T0 aZZw/wm it may concern:

Be it known that I, VIo'roR BENEDEK, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and

' Stateof Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soldering-Iron Furnaces, of which the following is a specification. My invention relates to improvements insolderingironfurnaces and has for its object the provision of a simple and improved construction of this character adapted to heat soldering irons efliciently, the present application being a division of my prior application Serial N 0. 188,56%, filed August 28, 1917. w 1 v The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter de-. scribed and claimed. 1 1 i The invention will bebest understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Figure l, is a top plan viewof a furnace embodying the invention as shown, with parts removed,

Fig. 2, a side View of the same,

ig. 3, a longitudinal section of the same, Fig. 4, a transverse section of the same, 7 Fig. 5, a detailed sectional view of an automatic gas valve employed in the construction,

Fig. 6, another detailed view of the valve, and

Fig. 7 a detailed section of a slightly modified form of construction.

The preferred form of construction, as illustrated inthe drawings, comprises a suitable supporting frame 8, having supporting feet or legs 9 and forwardly extending sup- 7 porting bars 10 as shown. A main gas supply pipe 11 i mounted in the outer ends of arms 10 and is provided at one end with a gas hose nipple l2 and at the. other end with a closing cap 13, said nipple and cap being interchangeable so that the furnace may be connected with the gas supply from either side. I r

Two supplemental gas supply pipes 1 4 ead from the pipe 11 and are arranged parallel with each other between the arms 10. Each of the pipes 14: is provided with a manually operable valve 15 for controlling the passage of gas therethrough, and with an automatically operating rotary valve 16 also 111g a very small quantity ofgas.

rest 22, and the controlling the passage of gas therethrough.

Each of the valves 16 is provided with a and a minute opening 18 for the passage of a small amount of gas to serve to keep the but consum- An oscillatory operating frame 19 is mounted upon each ofthe valves l6 and stop screws 20 are provided with beveled noses 21 arranged to contact with the under sides of the frames 19 on opposite sides of their pivotal point to eliminate oscillations thereof in each direction and to permit of adjustments of such oscillations. The arrangement is such that oscillation of the frame 19 in one direction opens the passage 17 to permit the flow of a full supply of gas and oscillation in the other direction closes the passage 17 and opens passage 18 to permit the passage of a minute quantity of gas, the oscillations of the frames 19 being nicely adjustable through the medium of screws 20 to efl ect these ends.

Each of the oscillating frames 19 is provided at its inner end with a soldering iron main frame 8 is provided with a transverse supporting bar 23-424, equipped with cotiperating soldering iron rests 25 coiiperating with rests 22 to support an ordinary soldering iron 26 at a suitable distance above the corresponding burners 27. The burners 27 are provided with burner holes 28 for the escape of the gas and are closed at their outer ends by means of plugs 29 arranged to fit within suitable sockets or openings provided in the corresponding side of the frame 8. At their inner ends the burners 27 are supported in suitable sockets or openings formed in the cross bar 23, the upper portion 24 ofsaid cross bar being removable to permit of ready removals or insertion of said burners. Each of the burners 27 is provided at its inner end with a flaring intake 30, having an abrupt shoulder 31 surrounding the entrance to the corresponding burner 27. Each of the pipes 14 is provided with a flaring outlet 82, arranged to fit within an inlet 30 and adjustable on its corresponding pipe by means of a set screw 33. By this arrangement a suitable mixing chamber is provided for mixing the gas escaping from the gas pipes 14 with air for combustion purposes, the abrupt-shoulders 31 serving to corresponding burner lighted,

the mixture to thoroughly mix the same. A suitable removable hood 34 is provided for the reception of the soldering irons, as indicated.

By this arrangement a simple and eifective means for heating soldering irons is provided. VVhen the soldering iron is placed in position, the corresponding frame 19 is depressed to valve 16 and permit the flow of a full supply of gas. H0vvever,when the soldering iron is removed the corresponding frame 19 oscillates through the influence of gravity and cuts off the full su aply of gas, but permits a minute supply to 1 ow to the burner through the corresponding opening 18 to keep the burner create eddie in lighted. hen it is desired to entirely cut off the flow of gas and discontinue use of the furnace, the valves 15 are closed.

In Fig. 7 I have illustrated a slightly modified form of construction in which ipes l l are provided with conical inlets 1i leading from the valves 16, such arrangement tending to facilitate the passage of the gas.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification Without departing from the spirit of the invention.

throw open the corresponding 7 I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come Within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, What I claim is new and desire to secure by Lette Patent is g V V 1. A soldering iron furnace comprising a burner having a flaring intake provided with an abrupt shoulder surrounding the entrance to the burner; and a gas supply pipe having a flaring discharge discharging into said intake, substantially as described.

A soldering iron furnace, comprising a burner having a flaring intake provided with an abrupt shoulder surrounding the entrance to the burner; a gas supply pipe leading to said burner; and a discharge head on said pipe having a flaring discharge discharging into said intake, said supply pipe having a flaring approach to said discharge head, substantially as described. i

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
